Anberlin - The Resistance Lyrics






You wanna watch us break?
Be the first to take us down
But your teeth are worn
And there's no stopping us now
You've got to be mental
Your speeches are maligned
Take down this molotov of word
Penned with you in mind

Speak
Speak for yourself
You paper tigers
You'll crash where you stand
You've got a riot on your hands
Speak
Speak for yourself
You paper tigers
Too late to make demands
When you've got a riot on your hands

Silent alarms are ringing
Sounds of revolt draw near
A new united front
That you will come to fear
We will hold together
To become the change
Voice for the voiceless
With every common man engaged

Speak
Speak for yourself
You paper tigers
You'll crash where you stand
You've got a riot on your hands
Speak
Speak for yourself
You paper tigers
Too late to make demands
When you've got a riot

Ignite and watch us burn
Til every ember's turned
Mankind will feel inspired
When we set your walls to fire

Speak
Speak for yourself
You paper tigers
You'll crash where you stand
You've got a riot on your hands
Speak
Speak for yourself
You paper tigers
Too late to make demands
When you've got a riot on your hands

Speak for yourself
Speak for yourself
Speak for yourself

    Nota 1000

  26. E.... A....

    Is it just me, or does this song come close to the general attitude of many Americans about the 2016 Presidential Race? Perhaps not exactly, but the whole matter of frustration with the political machine.

    E.... A....

    That's actually how I started listening to this among other songs. Some others would be Broken Mirrors by Rise Against and Uprising by Muse.

    E.... A....

    +Cameron C. As in others in this vein, not ones I just found necessarily.

  42. S.... ....

    It makes me wonder the context of the term paper tigers is being used in. 

    S.... ....

    Something that looks ferocious and scary, but really is fragile and thin. But that's just my opinion

  47. N.... S....

    I love that on every Anberlin video I can always scroll down and find Atomic Friendo somewhere

  48. P.... ....

    I reported atomicfriendo, and YouTube heeded my cries.  Unfortunately, they reacted poorly and changed YouTube's comments.  Sadly, atomicfriendo still remains with his minion Ih8fails4agoodreason there to support him.   atomicfriendo sucks :)-~

  49. s.... ....

    You sir, are THE ultimate troll, and I applaud you. I find it amazing how your were able to piss so many people off. It's actually quite funny.

  50. P.... ....

    Everyone thumbs up this comment. It's genius and must become top comment.

    P.... ....

    I can do zat

  51. G.... A....

    SPEAAAK !!! SPEAK FOR YOU SELF !!!

  52. P.... ....

    I never apologized. You burned that bridge ages ago. Stay away from me, and stay away from Anberlin. atomicfriendo sucks :)-~

  53. f.... ....

    done yet?

  54. P.... ....

    You're wasting your time and everyone else's. Get a life and stop trolling videos of bands you hate. I'm not a moron or an idiot. I both hate you and feel sorry for you that your only source of pleasure is to make everyone who likes Anberlin upset. You used to make me upset, but now I've grown immune to you. Instead of a stinging pain, you're just a dull annoyance. Until you personally insulted me; I have a newfound loathing of you. You need professional help. atomicfriendo sucks :)-~

  55. P.... ....

    I know. I often watch Anberlin videos and every one of them are defiled by this useless loser completely wasting his life. As a big Anberlin fan, I can't see why someone would completely waste their time making their fans angry. I mean, I hate Justin Bieber, Li'l Wayne, Wiz Khalifa and Miley Cyrus and I don't go on all of their videos and insult them because 1) it's not worth the time I could be spending on productive stuff and 2) I don't want to offend anyone. atomicfriendo is a moron.

  56. P.... ....

    If you hate Anberlin so much, stay away from their videos. It does benefits us both at the same time. For me and other people who actually enjoy Anberlin, we're free from you clogging the comments sections and wasting our time. And for you, it would give Anberlin fewer views. Stop picking fights and find something productive to do with your life. atomicfriendo sucks :)-~

  57. P.... ....

    Because you waste your time getting pleasure from constantly criticizing a band in front of its fanbase and watching them get angry. atomicfriendo sucks :)-~

  58. P.... ....

    I wasn't calling you God. I'm an atheist. And you're a major waste of time and contribute nothing positive to our society and are therefore useless. atomicriendo sucks :)-~

  59. T.... ....

    Thousand Foot Krutch, I The Mighty, Skillet, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Hands Like Houses, Red, Saosin, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Breaking Benjamin, Rise Against, Palisades, Life On Repeat

  60. H.... J....

    Story of the year, 30 secs to mars, maybe All time low... of mice and men. the last one is a bit screamo, but w/e

  61. P.... ....

    Oh god, not you.

  62. A.... B....

    /comment_management Block atomicfriendo. You're welcome.

  63. m.... ....

    It's funny how you reply with "That's awesome kiddo" to "Blah blah blah, that's all you said" Ahh you really make my day(s)

  64. m.... ....

    Well IDK WTF happened to this account... It like split in two... Anyways... Friendo I saw what you said about BVB and you're right they're absolute garbage but those guys deserve hate. They're posers. Why hate on Anberlin? Why not be a good little friend and just hate on BVB. Except... A little more extreme than hate...

  65. N.... ....

    i wished the part from 1:10 to 1:30 would be a bit harder, then id buy it xD

  66. D.... V....

    Blah blah blah, that's all you said

  67. S.... ....

    I like how the staccato's in the choruses count upwards as the song goes on.

  68. j.... h....

    If it sucks why did you choose to listen to it douche

  69. J.... G....

    Getting in an argument on the internet is like being in the Special Olympics. You may win but you're still retarded.

  70. D.... G....

    holy fuck i bet 800 of the comments on this video are from you, can't believe you're still here. you're fucked in the head dude

  71. N.... A....

    you need a medication dude .

  72. T.... F....

    I don't believe i wrote an apology. I do believe that you're an idiot though. The fact you write Anberlin sucks without using a capital letter for Anberlin proves it. I also find it quite cute kiddo.

  73. T.... F....

    Actually my comment is sitting right there, so... Oh and for your information some words have similarities and depending on what context you are writing depends what word you put in. By the way between the words*, I clearly recall you stating 2 words in that sentence therefore i would recommend getting your head checked first.

  74. R.... B....

    Damn this song is good

  75. T.... F....

    Ok buddy, keep telling yourself those lies. You know i like the fact you share your biased opinion with the world but to be honest i'm not sure much of us care.

  76. T.... F....

    So he says haha that's why he comes and listens to their songs

  77. C.... ....

    AtomicFriendo has had a hard time; everything was going great, he had a family, a great job, an amazing wife. They always enjoyed listening to Anberlin together. Finally his wife just got fed up with his negativity about everything. She left him for his boss who shortly after fired him. Now here atomicfriendo is today, taking his negativity out on Anberlin.

  78. m.... ....

    But seriously? You've been posting stupid stuff for me to laugh at for five years? That is so nice of you! :)

  79. m.... ....

    Maybe you should post some more stupid replies to me so I can laugh some more at em. :) That is why I <3 you. Because you have been posting stupid shit for me to laugh at since I was 11. After all you hate replying to me because I'm the only one you can't faze. I love following you. Maybe if you stop this Anberlin rant i'll stop following you. Why did you block me from your channel eh? I must really be getting on your nerves.

  80. T.... ....

    P.S. these adds are f-ing TERRIBLE:|

  81. T.... ....

    those are the type of people you call losers

  82. m.... ....

    Can you make me some pancakes?

  83. m.... ....

    Ha! I do tick you off! :)

  84. m.... ....

    Why do you call me kiddo? How old are you?

  85. m.... ....

    Whoops typo! Lol I confuzzled atomic and anberlin. Hey friendo? Why do you have me blocked on your channel? Ohh and I don't think Anberlin is metal because they aren't. I just know they don't suck. You probably -know- that too but you just like getting people mad. I don't see what is so great about that... Are you doing this for some sort of ego or reputation or to make people mad and laugh at the comments they send you or are you trying to actually prove they suck?

  86. m.... ....

    Aww but you don't know why anberlin is funny... You'll probably say something like, "Because anberlin sucks :)-~"

  87. m.... ....

    I'm naturally rebellious. I love metal and forever will since I've explored every other genre and I like em but metal is king. If that's being a poser the definition has changed. I'm obsessed with you because I find you to be funny. :)

  88. m.... ....

    I must be really getting on your nerves for you to do that because i'm right.

  89. m.... ....

    Just because you (one guy) doesn't like Anberlin doesn't make them suck. And you don't actually believe they suck you're just trolling which is even more stupid. And if your not the only guy who thinks that anberlin just totally sucks then why haven't they had the nerve to come here to these videos and reply like you do. And if you're replying for them that's even more stupid. Why do you waste your time like this? You even blocked me from posting on your channel.

  90. m.... ....

    Ohh so then why did you say the reason why you think anberlin sucks is because you like messing with people who listen to soft rock? Because you listen to heavy metal? You shouldn't consider yourself a metal head because your bashing something you don't like just to tick other people off. (I heard this from a smart man) That is like walking into a bar getting something that you hate that'll make you throw up just so you can tick everyone else off in the bar.

  91. m.... ....

    He sucks? Nah... He's just stupid. For example: He basically just stated he responds to himself. To reply to a comment that someone has replied you. You have to make a comment. Since he makes stupid comments saying that Anberlin sucks for no reason and you can ask why and you'll get Anberlin sucks :)-~ Or for me something even more illogical. So then someone replies and says that Anberlin doesn't suck (maybe some hate in it) So he replies to that. Who made the stupid comment? He did.

  92. m.... ....

    Nah... He just responds to himself. :)

  93. T.... P....

    i love anberlin, and mx vs atv series. WIN-WIN! if you know what i'm talking about, thumbs up cuz you play(ed) alive.

  94. A.... R....

    Anberlin isn't super heavy, Yet they have that heavy vibe... Loving it! xD

  95. N.... A....

    Phantoml0rd

  96. m.... ....

    Aww how cute. Atomicfriendo won't allow me to post on his channel. I must be doing something right. HahaHA! :P

  97. I.... a....

    what a sad bitch. I can understand not liking a band, but anberlin has so many good songs its impossible to

  98. A.... ....

    haters gonna hate. :)
